After a character mentions a brotherhood that murders oppressors of the poor, the central character of this play gives a fur coat to her brother and throws a knife, which cuts the title object. An innkeeper is stiffed when drinks are bought to revive that brother, who along with the central character struggles through a snowstorm with two soldier-guards. This play ends when the new emperor is told of a dream where he ravishes the central character, whom he fell in love with when she drew the title object, but was unable to see for a year thereafter when Mr. Ma took her as his concubine. The merchant father hangs himself, leading Chang hi-Tang to be sold into a teahouse, but justice is dispensed when her son, who was placed in the title object, recognizes her rather than the murderess Mrs. Ma as the true mother. For 10 points, name this Yuan Dynasty play by Li Xingdao, of which a very loose "Caucasian" adaptation was made by Bertolt Brecht.
